Codeigniter - input php automatically change % to + after submiting

Question

I don't why this is happening. I'm using mysql as database and the type data for this field is text.

I use textarea as the input container with POST method and this is the value.

login.imagesilo.com/EFormHost.aspx?PublicAccess=iTkJKhXDqXSbRZJadRifdGkxByxzVtSJp9E0RzhYdWeUuzUhUTW8YDzqnDHu2Ycu3%2b9JO%2fEfSE7Jdms6YtTrYptLnWjHiX7YNsZ0%2bTZzqWmhsaPdGWtpLd8dZLLC4qqx

after submitting and use echo to show the value I've inputed, the value changed to

login.imagesilo.com/EFormHost.aspx?PublicAccess=iTkJKhXDqXSbRZJadRifdGkxByxzVtSJp9E0RzhYdWeUuzUhUTW8YDzqnDHu2Ycu3+9JO/EfSE7Jdms6YtTrYptLnWjHiX7YNsZ0+TZzqWmhsaPdGWtpLd8dZLLC4qqx

this is very frustating. help me masters.

It didn't change % to +, but %2b to + (and %2f to /) - did you do a urldecode() somewhere? — Peter van der Wal

I dont use the urldecode() , I input the first link then after I submit the form it change to the 2nd link . dont do anything. just use $post_data = $this->input->post(NULL, TRUE); then echo the posted link — David Setyadi Santoso

$post_data = $this->input->post(NULL, TRUE);
$data['link'] = $post_data['link'];

I dunno why, it changed the link value if I used above code but stays the same using below code.

$data['link'] = $this->input->post('link');

Thanks guys.

The second argument (true in your first line of code) is whether to enable XSS filtering in codeignitor. Apparantly this also messes up the url-encoding. Another option was to set this one to false - that's also why your second solution is working, it's disabled by default in your installation/config.
